Questions

What BPM is The Well Of Souls?

115 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is The Well Of Souls hard to play on drums?

54 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 48 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

211 bars, about 7:20 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 30 exercises over 9 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in The Well Of Souls?

4 fills to learn, played 10 times: bars 17, 21, 25, 34, 109, 110 and 4 more.
